Talmud su Levitico 27:26
אַךְ־בְּכ֞וֹר אֲשֶׁר־יְבֻכַּ֤ר לַֽיהוָה֙ בִּבְהֵמָ֔ה לֹֽא־יַקְדִּ֥ישׁ אִ֖ישׁ אֹת֑וֹ אִם־שׁ֣וֹר אִם־שֶׂ֔ה לַֽיהוָ֖ה הֽוּא׃
Comunque sia il primogenito tra le bestie, che nasce come primogenito all'Eterno, nessuno lo santificherà; che si tratti di bue o di pecora, è il Signore'S.
Jerusalem Talmud Shekalim
It is written39Lev. 27:26., but a firstling which is born first to the Eternal by a domestic animal no person can declare holy. No holiness can fall on anything holy40The argument is based on the second part of the verse, not quoted in the text: whether ox or sheep, it [already] is the Eternal’s; cf. Mishnah Arakhin8:7. The problem addressed is how to rectify the situation that tithe or sabbatical money was taken for the sheqel. Not only is there an obligation to make up for the value taken but the coin given as sheqel, being already holy (of a minor degree) cannot possibly acquire the holiness of monies dedicated to the Temple. Without rectification, the use of the coin by the Temple authorities would be sinful.. What does he do? He brings a profane tetradrachma and says, the monies of Second Tithe wherever they be41Meaning the coins given as sheqel. are redeemed by this tetradrachma; this is designated as Second Tithe and the others41Meaning the coins given as sheqel. are declared sheqalim.
